Well, we made it through the first week of school. Timothy and Catherine went back to school on Tuesday, August 19. Timothy is in 5th grade and Catherine is in 3rd grade this year. This will be Timothy's last year of elementary school. Both of the kids got the teachers they wanted and they both have their best friends in their class. Because Catherine was is a 2nd/3rd grade combination class last year, she has the same teacher, Mrs. Cordial, and classroom this year. Most of the kids she was in 2nd grade with are now the 3rd graders in the combo class. Timothy really wanted to have a male teacher this year and he got Mr. Anderson. Mr. Anderson is one of the "cool" and layed-back teachers and one of the students favorites.
Catherine will be turning 8 on Saturday, August 30. I don't know where my babies have gone. Timothy can wear my shoes! We are planning to have a family birthday party at Mom's. John's dad is out of town, but his brother Jim and his family will be there. I'm not sure yet who else will be able to come. That's the bad thing about having a birthday on a holiday weekend. I'll try to remember to post pictures later.
